First thing is first lets get the history of the car out of the way. bought the car from car transplant. The original owner had hit a speed bump to fast and ripped the exhaust of completly and a few other little things were wrong. The car was never registered as a write off. but the girl who own'd it didnt want the car any more so it went to the transplant yard in heaven

I seent he car and though. its got potential for a project.

I have all the pictures of the bodywork modifications from ground up.

The car didnt come with any history log book or nothing. i have the log book now (after applying for it) and have changed things on it like the colour of the car etc. The clocks didnt work so i changed these for some i had lying about. these now read something daft like 126K miles. the car hasnt done 126?K miles and to be honest i dont really know what it has done as the clocks said 94K but were not working so i would asume its over that but i doubt its near the 126K coz i have done around 3K miles only in the car since i got it last year. SO to recap there is no history or bugger all. I have obviously sorted the exhaust out all the other bits and pieces and managed to get it through an MOT of which is still has about 2 months of

Now the car when completed was stunning the paintwork really was great. it was used daily untill some un insured mother fecker decided he would come round the corner and go into my passenger side wheel.

this resulted in a scuff on the bumper, snapped steering rack and cracked alloy. the car basicly sat there for ages whiles the police where trying to get hold of the person who did it. Which they never did even though i told them time and time again exaclty who did it. :@ in the end i gave up with the police and moved back down to my parents where i and the car live now. just before moving down to my parents some nob jealous bastard decided it would be funny to kick my wing mirror of. (see pictures) i didnt find this funny to say the least but hey i suppose they had a good laugh.

I then started to build the car back up. i bought some new alloys and some new coilovers and touched up alot of the paintwork. adventualy i have given up. i ahe had so much trouble and wasted money and time on the car i am getting rid. I have taken of the new alloys and am keeping them for a nova i am buying. And the coilovers which were never fitted (spax) are being sold seperatly. (offers on these). On the car now is the original alloys of which one is cracked slightly (but does still hold air) and the original suspension (have thrown back on the -60mm springs) so it is still low.

Right so down the the modifications and spec of the car

its is your bog standard 1.2 8v single point injection LS model.
i have installed a remote central locking kit with key fob.
has a full wide arch kit (front back side skirts and arche extentions)
was resprayed in honda night hawke black (type R paint) with blue and green mixed pearl in some places ( sounds random but it looks good) The car was only painted on the outside so under the hood is still the orginal red etc. obviously the front bumper has some stone chips and a scuff or 2 but no cracks etc. As you can see in one of the pictures the paint work can still be buffed up and look lovely. this was done in 2 mins with a turtle wax.

Car has a calibra turbo leather interior. all fitted but could do with a good clean (as could the WHOLE interior of the car) Car will come with rear door cards only as my front leather jobbies have been damaged (dont ask). the car has a flocked dash. which is in no way a good state. (bald patches etc) this again is just generaly because nobody has loved this car in a long time.

has gsi spoiler and rear tinted lights and a few other bits knocking about.

Car starts and drives. steering is stiff due to the new steering rack and the fact i havent driven it more than 1 mile since i replaced it, My mate thinks it will be sound as soon as its broke in a bit. (it was replaced with a new unit)

Car will come with front components only and a CD headunit.

Come with the m3 mirror which was kicked of ( is busted but possibly repairable)

Not alot else to say apart from i STRONGLY suggest you come and view this before undertaking it as a project. Again im selling this simply because im fed upw ith it and cannot be arsed with it.

will part x or swap for something in working order ......

right now im not willing to put a price up as i really have no idea as to what its worth. the fact it has no history or reciepts for anything really means im not looking for Ks of pounds but the work and body kit etc etc does mean im not looking to be shafted (you get me

)

See whnat a mean by the paintwork

thanks jay. it doesnt look half bad. just a bit rough around the edges. it is certainly worthy of having a few quid spent on it to make it great again!

As you can see it was only painted in july last year

so its reasonably fresh paint just needs TLC The paint work cost me over a grand BTW

Oh and all these pictures are before flat and polish so the paint was even better than pictured
